The COW CASE.

The examination Of John East, charged
with selling leased cattle, has been in
progress before Justice Dougherty during
the week, and will probably be concluded
to-day. A large number of witnesses
have been examined. Considerable in-
terest attaches to the case, as it involves
several points regarding the right of q
lessee to divide and dispose of the in
crease, etc. 1t is very complicated
case but, whatever the result of the pre-
liminary examination, it will probably be
carried higher, and Emmons County, 40,
usual, will have big bill of costs to
settle.
The opinion has been general outside
of his own neighborhood that John East
left the county between two days"
This was not the case, as the RECORD is
informed by half"dozen of his neigh
bors. Everybody around knew that he
was going to Helena, where his brother
had procured work for himself and team.
His family had been left on his claim, as
well provided for as possible, and every
thing seemed to show that his absence
was but temporary.
AS to the merits of the case, those who
have heard the testimony express differing
opipions.
District Attorney Armstrong prosecutes
and Attorney Winchester defends
LATER.--At late hour last night the
taking of testimony came to an end. the
case was submitted without argument,
and at 1915 Justice Dougherty decided
that there was not sufficient evidence to
hold the defendant, and he was therefore
discharged.
